Creek 5350 "U" bars


I bought this integrated used here on the gon, and have read a couple of reviews that state that the little "U" bars connecting the pre-amp to the power amp need to be upgraded to something better. Does anyone have any information on this, and what would I upgrade them to? It seems strange to me that this quality of amp would need upgrading right from the get-go. I would appreciate some info on this.

I replaced the pre-power jumpers on my NAD3020 about 10 years ago and got a noticeable improvement. And that was with Radio Shack 75ohm video coax ! With the creek I'd imagine you'd get even more benefit.
I'd get any good interconnect, and make it as short as possible (since longer = more capacitance = high frequency attenuation).
Perhaps experiment with any interconnects you have to hand before paying tons of money for a cable (or make your own with RG214).
